The preload on the swivel is set with the big swivel seal removed.

Electrical wiring and connectors??? How on earth are they going to do that one? Unplug every one? Sounds like a recipe for massive electrical problems to me. My SRS light has never come on, how do I falt find that? It's not the bulb.

Oh man, change the font please, I can't read a word of that

.5mm seems quite bad. AFIK it all depends on valve stand-down and piston stand-proud, if these values go out of spec then you get valves hitting pistons etc. I'm sure someone will be able to offer more info.

Just done this to mine, have your calipers got three nipples each? If so the inner two are bled together first then the outer one on its own. I had to re bleed mine after a day to get a pedal.

Same as mine was, take dash binnacle off and fit bulb, previous seller had pulled bulb because it was stuck on which is mot fail, and annoying. Easy to sell if not working unless buyer knows what happens when key is turned. It took me a while to figure out and in the end I bought another dash unit to give me loads of spare bulbs, couldn't find them in shops as they are small LEDs. Your next post here will be "what to do if ABS light stays on?" Turns out it was just sensors needed reseating and the ecu resetting.

All done and back on her wheels again:) http://www.davekearley.co.uk/LinkPics/disc1.jpg Thanks to all who offered advice

All finished and working, flexi problem turned out to be dodgy thread, cleaned it up and it went back nicely. Need to re-bleed and check for leaks tomorrow but other than that it's all back together at last. Last stumbling block was paddocks idea to put the wrong brake pad fitting kit in the order, took two ours but I managed to find some locally.

Yes it turns easy and it screwed back into the old flexi very easy too, I'm baffled but will try again tonight on other side.

Yes the flexi fits the new metric fittings, I will try again tomorrow but we did try several times tonight, it screwed back into the old pipe easy. The metric fittings did not want to screw into the old pipe which is what made me think the fittings were different. Its either M10x1 or 3/8x24, close but not the same.

Right I've got the first fitting undone, hammer on one side and hit the other side with another hammer seems to have helped. Now the next problem pops up and kicks me in the 'nads - the new flexi does not match the thread on the feed pipe!!! The part is ANR1765 which appears correct so what is wrong????

I could cut and fit but I can't flare steel pipe so it means running new pipe all the way back to the abs modulator which is easy on one side. But hard on the other.

All fitted, everything lines up nicely. Last snag is that I can't get the feed pipe to flexi pipe joint undone, the one on the inner wing, any secrets or tips?

Yes, too big but asthe old and new bolts both fit the axle, that's to be expected. I have now found that the holes in the calipers are imperial and the bolts are metric and it's common to just open them out with a 12mm drill, it's only about .5 mm difference but enough to stop the bolts fitting.

The bolts are new and did not come in the kit, they do fit the threads in the axle hub though but are larger than the holes in the calipers.
